    To one stick or not

    Started last year and learned on 3 long helium sticks, first time hunting public land, and wanted to be more mobile. On my private land we don't have to walk far and can drive up to where we want. 3 long sticks are heavy and awkward on a back pack, then if you get a deer it's more weight to...

    UltimAider

    Just sewed up a three step aider for my helium one stick. This would be easy enough to make and all the parts are purchasable by the do-it-yourselfer. Slick idea though. Only really need to adjust one time so if you already know your step length and how high you want to go, then the...

    large size stick mounted platform

    I like the size of that lone wolf and that it is movable. Added 2 straps on my helium short with an artesian platform mounted backwards away from the tree. Just need to stitch up my aiders and figure out step distance.

    large size stick mounted platform

    I guess if your larger platform pivoted up out of the way while climbing up past it and then kick it down to stand on wouldn't be so bad. Fixed position means you are working off to the side of it as you climb.

    Trad bow and EZV sight

    There is a Das sight ring on 3rivers that has different shaped loops for different drops and ranges. You sight the loop in for the middle range and then bracket the target in the loop for long and short ranges.

    Trad bow and EZV sight

    I put single brass pin sights on my bows and it helped me with my gaps immediately. With not having a reference point in the front of the bow, I had inconsistencies in the shot. Now when I shoot my bows without a sight, the gaps are more consistent and natural for me. Have been shooting 10-12...

    Starting the road of traditional bow, what do you recommend for beginner to focus on with limited time and budget?

    I started with a samick sage 30# and 45# limbs. 30s for practice and 45 for hunting. Shoots and sets up really easy. Very quiet once you get arrows and string sorted out.

    AAE Trad Vanes

    The trad vanes are super thin and flexible. Regular vanes are thicker and hard since compounds mostly use drop away rests and high speeds, so no contact with the bow or rest. Recurve/longbows have fixed rests or off the shelf so the feathers/trad vanes may make contact with the bow and throw off...
